In an Ultimate Fighting Championship ( UFC ) match held Dec. 30 in Las Vegas, women's bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes defeated well-known fighter Ronda Rousey just 48 seconds into the contest.
Nunes, who's Brazilian, is an out lesbian. She has been dating Nina Ansaroff, a fighter who competes in the strawweight division, for four years.
It was the second consecutive defeat for Rousey, the UFC's once-great hope and the sport's all-dominating athlete who lost to Holly Holm in November 2015. The match against Nunes was seen as Rousey's comeback attempt.
On Ellen DeGeneres' show in November, Rousey ( a past Olympic bronze medalist ) hinted that retirement may not be that far away.
"Forget about Ronda Rousey," Nunes said, according to CNN. "Now she's going to retire and go do movies."
